Will not or are at least considering not taking the vaccine when\ if it is available. What is your position relative to receiving the vaccine ? Are in....out....or....maybe? Can the Govt compel its use?

I'm out. If others want to be the guinea pigs on a vaccine that's being rushed to market, that's their choice.
i read that article. i think it was 20% said a flat no and another 30% said they don't know and would need more information on it efficacy and any potential side effects. So the 30% who said they would need more information are not necessarily 'no' and is actually a well reasoned response.
I will get it - probable the only way I will feel comfortable seeing my parents in person since they are 88 and 89 years old.
I wont be rushing to get it, but I will do so after a little while.
what are the chances vaccine is effective? won't be 100%. Maybe 50%?
Side effects??? Probably will get it anyways...I got the Pneumonia shots.

Don't want to be first in line given the rushed nature of development surrounding this vaccine. Let someone else be the guinea pig. After it's been tested, I'm in.
Well since I never get the flu shot there is no way I'm taking this one. With a .1% death rate or less biggest waste of time ever. And before anyone says the death rate is higher then that. It can't be if its as contagious as you all believe.
When congress removes this protection, I’ll get the vaccine.

I think every one of you should get it....100%...every single stinkin one of you
then I don't have to
then I don't have to
I have had all my "shots" LOL and I get a flu shot every year but I will hedge on this vaccine. I'm not taking anything thats rushed.
Lets just say I've seen the movie I am Legend. It doesn't end well for the people that took the "vaccine".
It’s a public health issue. People who don’t get vaccines, flu or Covid-19 or whatever put not only themselves at risk but others who they come in contact with. My secretary would never get the flu vaccine and year after year she would be out of work for a week after coming in and infecting her coworkers. By reducing the universe of those who are at risk for infection, you are performing a public service. It’s not about keeping you healthy, it’s about keeping everyone healthy. I could never understand the logic of those who refused to get vaccinated for the flu.
In general I am OK with vaccines, but they usually take years to get to market for a reason.
I'll continue my daily scotch and water treatment.

I'll go first. By the time it is available, it will have been thoroughly tested.
My death risk with Covid is likely very low, but I've heard how sick some people have gotten. I'd prefer to avoid being laid up for a few weeks and passing it on to my friends and family.

Later for me. They can test it on you if you want, knock yourself out.
And I say this as someone who has had many, many vaccines - Hep A, hep B, typhus, smallpox, tetanus, DPT, and I get the flu vax every year. I'm not scared of vaccines. But I want to have reasonable medical certainty that 1) it's not going to hurt me and 2) the damn thing has some level of efficacy.

I'm literally more worried about an 18 wheeler or tree killing me than Covid so I will pass for a while.
In the meantime intermittent fasting and not eating because you're bored is advice a good third of this country should take to heart.
Intermittent fasting > Clapping for the NHS

Took 15 pounds in January with a new year's resolution with ultimate goal of 20 pounds by just exercising more and major diet. Went intermittant fasting starting in early February (easy for me as i don't eat breakfast much anyway, just had to switch to black coffee and forgo cream and sugar which i still am not used to). Dropped another 8+ pounds in February and for the entire month of March-May have kept between 165-167 pounds with being able to eat dessert every other night and goto more normal dinners with second helpings. '
I highly, highly recommend intermittant fasting for keeping a good weight and being able to maintain it. Cannot wait until COvid is over and I can get my blood work done and compare to last year as I think it is also going to show marked improvement.
My wife and I both work in health field so we’ll be mandated to take it for employment. But that doesn’t make me feel great. Vaccines for cold based viruses have never worked so why should this. It’s going to be rushed and thus untested to a degree and sets up a terrible scenario where those that don’t take it lose their economic lives
good stuff and congrats. do you follow an intermittent fasting regimen that you can link to? Thanks!
Wow... the responses surprised me. This is typically a very pro vaccine group.
As someone who had the damned thing and isn't going to be particularly concerned with it for another couple years, my decision (presuming i have a choice) is pretty simple. Surprisingly also is that my family of vaccine junkies (lotsa doctors here) is not planning to rush into, either... for all the reasons listed above.
Sounds like all of us are doing our homework.
My wife... another story. If she doesn't have the antibodies (testing next week), she'll be wrestling with whether to get it or not. [Question I have is will a vaccine have a different impact -- good or bad -- on someone who actually had covid and not just the virus which also results in antibodies -- though likely not as potent. Until that kind of stuff is in order, I'll pass for me.]
They are shotgunning this thing which is not really in anyone's (aside from the malker lucky enough to land the $$$$$$$$ contract) best interest.

Not arguing ... seeking to understand. Does a vaccine make me not get it? Or just not get sick from it... ? So if the vaccine is effective and I get the vaccine, is it relatively impossible for me to not only not get sick but also not be a carrier? I have never gotten the flu ... and therefore never got a flu shot because I never thought I needed it.
So dies the vaccine stop the spread or just the potential impact on an individual?
IN I will take the risk to protect family, and some comfort to resuming robust retirement...Just turned 69 and wife is 62
Glad you mentioned the cold. This is the very reason why I'm skeptical of all of these claims that we'll eventually have an effective vaccine. Maybe the better hope is that this, being a RNA virus, will mutate quickly, but into a less virulent form. Who knows. My Microbiology days are in the very distant past.
I read all the time we won’t have full occupancy in airplanes, restaurants, stadiums, etc until there is a vaccine. Show me a plan for full occupancy without a vaccine
Who said we can't get back to "real" normal w/out a vaccine? You're willing to have half filled restaurants, concert halls, parks, and stadiums for how long exactly? Because we've been waiting on an AIDS vaccine for 40 years, and an N1H1 vaccine for 11. If we have a Covid19 vaccine by Christmas, then I have a lot of questions. Let's put it that way.

I think it's like a software release.... I'll wait until r2 or r3
Don’t shoot the messenger. I could care less about a vaccine. That’s what every industry has been saying
